Anti-Litter Ordinance.

Mr. Snoyenbos read the letter he wrote to Anthony Shoe- maker about the legislative delegation sponsoring a bottle bill in the next session. He enclosed copies of the oregon bill for the Mayor and members of the City commission. In regard to the bottle bill, Frank Krame called the City Manager's Office and '.found out many states have a bottle ordinance or something of a similar nature. They. are Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Oregon, Vermont, Alaska, ,California, Louisiana, NebraSka, Ohio, South CarOlina, Tennessee, Virginia and 'Washington State. Mr. Snoyenbos said an article in Time magazine stated the bottle bill was defe~ted in four states in the national election in November. A discussion followed about opposition to the bill. The Chairman stated that the Committee had ';gone on record in support of a bottle bill for Florida and felt there was little else 'to' be done at this time. . ,3. Decorative Tree. Mrs. Clark reported the SubConunittee had decided on the weeping bottle brush tree (calistamon) as their choice for the official tree. This ?' ..' .. tree is a reliable plant, easy to grow and propagate, frost free and can be planted "', 'iri !sun or shade. A short discussion followed about a tree selected by the city .,',~:\.;!~".,. . . twenty years ago which was 'not suitable for extensive urban planting. The weeping bottle brush 'tree was approved by the Beautification committee as the official :0:;' ' , . ,o'rriamental tree of Clearwater and Mrs. Clark made a motion that the Chairman send :iI/, ' 'this' recommendation to the city commission. The motion was seconded and passed :i. 1~I, , :"';".' " ',unap.imouslY. :',:;.,' .,~,\ :\);';<t~":. < . /~i-'.I, 'l1, . iJi:;::>". . ~;i~'::' .' ~.., ~~5;~r l' " 00- ''', . ~i}~::...:':'. :.';: "
